Fue and two of his adult <br />siblings live in the main house. His parents have <br />their own private space in the first-floor ADU. <br />The house is designed for flexibility. While the Lees <br />have no plans to move, any family that buys the <br />house in the future could choose to rent out the <br />attached unit for extra income. <br />Responding to demand from its members, the nonprofit <br />CLCLT has recently built two more multigenerational <br />homes with ADUs. Thanks to the community land trust <br />model, all of these homes will remain affordable for <br />future generations of new homebuyers.
